Task hooks to do almost anything you need.

1. Usage
2. Example

PhoneGap hooks allow you to run custom scripts before and/or after almost any command. This can become a powerful way to extend PhoneGap in ways that it does not yet support, such as moving around artifacts or linking into a continuous integration system.

Usage

You can read the full usage details in:

Example

Let's create a simple example that outputs a message before listing your plugins.

1. Open the directory phonegap-app-pgday

2. Create the directory hooks/before_plugin_ls

3. Create the file hooks/before_plugin_ls/echo.js

4. Add the following to the file:

    #!/usr/bin/env node
    
    console.log('Give me a minute...');
   

5. Make the file executable:

• OS X and Linux: type the command $ chmod +x hooks/before_plugin_list/echo.js
• Windows: right-click and select Properties then update the permissions for all users.

1. Type $ phonegap plugin list

    Give me a minute...
    [phonegap] no plugins installed
   

That's it!
